Description of the problem	It has been several years now but after extensive research i have decided to take action. I was driving my pick-up in town when i lost my gauge lights and i noticed at the same time i lost all my maker lights on the vehicle. I pulled over and found a blown fuse in the fuse box and replaced it with a new one. Right away it blew again only this time it also blew the cercit in the totally integrated power module, wichata left me no choice but to bypass the curcit and get power to my lights form another source. The next day i went to the dealer and was told it is a common problem and the tipm is $850 that don't include the cost of replacing it and then programing it ti the vehicle. So i decided i wasn't going to pay that much for something that i had already fixed by bypassing the problem. Then a few years later i was driving down the highway around 65 mph at night when i lost my high beam headlights upon further diagnosis i found it to be the tipm at fault again. I spoke with the dealer about it and they told me it too was a common problem. So i filed a complaint with chrysler about both issues and told them they needed to get it fixed and they told me they would look into it. So i let it go without pressing the issue any further. As to my knowledge nothing has been done. But after extensive research i have found more serious problems with the tipm, that dodge needs to acknowledge and bite the bullet and fix the problems. Due to these issues being major safety problems. (i. E. Loss of wipers, loss of low beam headlights, and turn signal flashing the wrong way)
